Minority Map is a tool to help spread information about minorities across the United States and the hate they face. We hope to strengthen our community through mutual experience and understanding.
As minorities, we are hyper aware of the many hate crimes that take place throughout the US and around us on a daily basis.
Therefore, we took interest in exploring the scale of these unfortunate events and how a diverse group of minorities including the LGBTQ community, women, and ethnic groups suffer as a result.
More importantly however, we aim to make this information more easily accessible to raise awareness, promote equality, and reinforce a sense of community among marginalized groups.
As first-year students without much coding experience (apart from our Java-based classes), we really struggled with getting started.
We built this website from scratch, learning the correct syntaxes along the way- with the help of the mentors here at DubHacks (and google!)
We are really grateful for the opportunity to create and share an artifact of our learning!!
